IT decision-makers already understand how Unified Communications as a Service (UCaaS) can make a positive impact on their bottom line. However, UCaaS can do much more than just save money. It offers businesses of all sizes a wide variety of valuable benefits that can greatly improve efficiency and productivity throughout their operations, as well as spur innovation. These benefits can have a positive effect throughout the entire organization while helping businesses reduce expenses.

Major Benefits of UCaaS

The following five major benefits can have a transformative effect on business culture and communications, allowing organizations to achieve their full growth potential:

• UC offers real-time access to a complete suite of bundled services, from phone communications and messaging to data sharing and conferencing. These services can be accessed from a broad range of devices, giving customers, staff, and executives the freedom to move seamlessly between each service. This facilitates optimal productivity throughout the entire organization.
• UC provides the means and capability to conduct business from virtually any location. Staff members can break free from the office and remain productive.
• The UC provider takes care of telecom purchasing, updating, and maintenance tasks, leaving organizations free to shift IT staff from in-house telecom management to other projects that strengthen the company’s core competencies.
• UC shields organizations from unexpected downtime through superior reliability and multiple performance redundancies. Combined with major cloud provider access and a top-performing data center, businesses can stay up and running throughout any disaster.
• UC also allows for real-time collaboration between stakeholders throughout the organization, providing a nexus point for strategy, operations, and production to coalesce. The end result is a company that can surmount a broad range of implementation and organizational challenges and adapt faster to environmental and competitive changes.

Other Ways UCaaS Can Improve Business Operations

Another benefit that UCaaS offers is improved 24/7 access and functionality, giving remote teams on the other side of the world the ability to work seamlessly with fellow staff members and continuous access to the latest tools to maintain and enhance their productivity. UCaaS can also improve customer interactions through enhanced reliability of communications.

Utilizing UC also means reliance on just one vendor. For organizations with concerns about data security, this could be one less thing to worry about. However, businesses should always verify that vendor data center certifications and credentials are valid, up-to-date, and compliant with the latest government regulations and best practices. Having a one-vendor solution can do wonders for an organization’s bottom line, thanks in large part to billing transparency and the ability to scale up or down according to current and projected bandwidth needs.
